Opened to the public in 1981, The Meadow Farm Museum at Crump Park presents programs, events, and exhibits on the cultures that have influenced the history of Henrico County. Historical interpreters provide insight into the lives of the Native Americans, African Americans, and several generations of the Shepperd family who have called the lands of Meadow Farm home. On selected weekends, focused history programs are offered for various ages.
The Parsons Community Center is open Saturdays & Sundays from 12-4pm. Tours of the historic 1810 farmhouse are offered throughout the year and by appointment. The Meadow Farm Museum also features farm animals who enhance the experience at this living historical site.

The Meadow Farm Museum is within Crump Park, which also features playgrounds, picnic shelters, large open fields, and a fishing pond. Also, within Crump Park, is R.F.&P.
